Changes to be aware of
|
Previous Top Next |
| · | The Printing Options function now also appears under the Maintenance menu (in addition to the File menu). This is for convenience only, and using it from either menu does the same thing.
|
|
|
| · | Added tax details on receipt, like "Sales Tax ($20.00 @ 5.25%)". This is the new default, but it can be disabled through a new option under Maintenance / Printing Options / Receipts.
|
|
|
| · | The "Set ID" in Transaction records has been changed to "Receipt #". This will simply appear to be a field name change as seen in the transaction details. However there is also a formatting option so that the receipt number can include various information, and it can also be shown on receipts. See Maintenance / Program Options / Formats for the formatting options, and Maintenance / Printing Options / Receipts to add it to receipts.
|
|
|
| · | The formatting has been changed for the Confirmation # field. By default, it should still appear the same as it did before (it's automatically converted), but you should double-check new reservations to make sure the confirmation number appears the way you want. See Maintenance / Program Options / Formats for the formatting information.
|
|
|
| · | Cash drawer support has been added, so an electronic cash drawer can be controlled directly. See the separate section for complete setup details.
|
|
|
| · | A new menu item "Database Maintenance" has been added to the Maintenance menu, and a few items have been moved into that sub-menu (Deposit and A/R balance adjustments and bad-link cleanup).
|
|
|
| · | The Raw Data Tables menu item has been moved down in the Maintenance menu to get it out of the way of the setup-type functions.
|
|
|
| · | If a File / Save As is done to a removable drive (like a floppy disk), it will not use that as the new default database (to prevent accidentally setting the default database location to the floppy when making a backup copy).
|
|
|
| · | By default, the "Total" column of the Transactions dialog will show the amount as negative if the amount is a Credit, Discount, or Payment/Deposit. Previously it always showed positive values, which were correct in the given context but did not "add up" correctly to the Total Amount Due. If this is not desired, it can be disabled through Maintenance / Program Options / Formats.
|
|
|
| · | The Payment Methods pick list now has additional fields to make it a little "smarter". By selecting the appropriate Base Type (cash, check, credit, etc.) and options for whether a qty is needed, etc., unnecessary fields on the Enter Payment dialog will be disabled so that data entry is less confusing. See Maintenance / Pick Lists / Payment Methods. The default payment methods will be set up automatically, but you may need to adjust the settings for any new payment methods you added.
|
|
|
| · | The dialog to Enter a Payment, Deposit, or Refund for transactions now has specific entry fields for credit card information, and validation / auto-formatting is done for the credit card number and expiration date. These fields are optional, but can be used to store the information. (The information will actually be stored in the Ref field as before, but it's encoded so it can be automatically retrieved.) Once a customer has this information entered, it will be automatically retrieved the next time it's needed for a credit card payment or guarantee. This is also in preparation for credit card authorization functionality to be added later.
|
|
|
| · | The Guarantee dialog also has credit card information fields, and the information will also be automatically stored/retrieved when future payments or guarantees are made.
|
|
|
| · | The Guarantee Information field on Reservation Details can now be edited if needed (but be careful with the credit card information since it's encoded). If you want to prevent editing for certain operators, that can be done by setting the new Access Level setting for this.
